Why did William choose Hastings?

He didn't and Hastings played no part in the battle. The Saxon King Harold arranged for his army to gather at the "hoar (grey and old) apple tree", a familiar landmark that the men would have known, sited on a ridge which would give the English a defensive high ground position. This was at the place now called Battle, not at Hastings. This ridge at Battle was a very strong position with marshes and ditches in front and around it, commanding the main route from Hastings to London - the route that William had to take. Given sufficient troops, Harold could have held the position indefinitely and William would have lost.
